Memorial day (B-day) weekend

Memorial day weekend is always extra special since it happens to coincide with my birthday. This year was one I will remember for a long time.

On Saturday grammy and grandpa join us for brunch at the Space Needle restaurant. The weather was perfect, perhaps even a tad hot for us Seattlites. The view was spectacular but I think the girls were most impressed by the helium balloons and dry ice fog-oozing desserts.




After lunch we went on a quick ride in the boat, then scooted back to Bellevue for a rib-tastic BBQ. Evie was so excited about my birthday that she decorated her plastic peddle car with birthday cards and drawings of Dad+Evie. After dinner May took me for a summer evening drink at a fancy bar /restaurant in Bellevue.




On Sunday afternoon Greg and I took Evie + Blakely on an overnight boat camping trip. We geared up the boat, loaded it with hot dogs, and then drove the boat over to Seaward Park in Seattle and dropped anchor. The girls had a blast giggling and watching us (try) to catch fish.






On Monday May and Nora picked us up at the boat and whisked us away back to Bellevue where we went to the park a couple times (pre and post Nora nap). The wild flowers were beautiful and Nora couldn't resist picking a few.

Happy new year!!

Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted!  We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.  

Glass art

We picked up our finished creations from the glass blowing class we took a few weeks ago and I think they came out great! Can you tell who made which one? Nora's sunset pumpkin, May's bluebird and Evie's snow pumpkin.  

Trick or Treat!

Halloween this year was the quietest one we've had in 13 years! This was the first one we had without the girls! Both of them went to friends houses and left Scott and I to man the door. It was very quiet at home because the doorbell rang only 4x the entire night, but at least both girls said they had a lot of fun despite it being rainy and dreary out. Thankfully, they have finally learned to not trust Seattle weather in October and chose warm(ish) costumes!
